I. About the Department

The Department of Social Work (earlier known as the Delhi School of Social Work) was established in the year 1946 at Lucknow by the YWCA. It was then known as the National YWCA School of Social Work. In the year 1947, the school was shifted to Delhi. In the year 1948, it was affiliated to the University of Delhi and came to be known as the Delhi School of Social Work. The institution holds the distinction of being the first institution in Asia to offer a Master’s Degree in Social Work. In April 1961, the Department started functioning as a post-graduate institution affiliated to the University. In 1965, the Doctoral programme (leading to PhD. degree) in Social Work was started and subsequently in the year 1976, the Department also added a Pre Doctoral programme (leading to M.Phil. degree). In May 1979, it became a Post-Graduate Department affiliated to the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Delhi. The Department initiated the Bachelor's Degree (Honours Course) in Social Work in two constituent colleges of the University of Delhi from the academic session 1994-95. The Department of Social Work was granted the Department of Special Assistance status (DSA) by the University Grants Commission in 1992. It was also sanctioned assistance under the ASIHSS Programme. In 2009, the semester system was introduced in the M.A. (Social Work) programme. In 2014, University Grants Commission (UGC) sanctioned the status of "Centre of Advanced Study (CAS) in Social Work" to the Department for five years in this regard. The Department has also become a proud member of the prestigious Asian Pacific Association for Social Work Education (APASWE) in the year 2017.

The Department has established and continued with its field action programmes, which have been established over the years to demonstrate the relevance of social work intervention in dealing with social issues and problems. They have functioned as demonstration cum extension projects for the Department and have enabled the Department to strengthen its "praxis". One such field action programme is the Child Guidance Centre, which was instituted in the year 1971 and which later came to be known as the Centre for Child and Adolescent Wellbeing. Over the many years of its functioning, the Centre has only grown from strength to strength. The Department also established a community work oriented centre called the Gram Mahila Kendra in Burari community in the year 1988. Subsequently this Centre came to be known as the Centre for Community Development and Action. Over the many years of its existence, this Centre has rendered exemplary community development services, based on participatory community action The Department undertook relief and rehabilitation action project for earthquake affected villages in Bhuj (Kutch) under the banner, University for Development Action and Integrated Learning (UDAI) during 2001-2002. It also executed an innovative action project UDAI –II in the flood affected villages of Bihar starting 2008.

The Department was given the responsibility of coordinating the Community Development Cell of the University of Delhi in 2015 and the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan in 2016. The projects are being undertaken in five villages which have been adopted by the University, and which have been identified on the basis of their low socio-economic indicators. These are: Badarpur Khadar, Chauhan Patti, Jagatpur, Mukundpur and Jharoda. The ten students placed there for their concurrent field work, together with their faculty supervisors worked hard to undertake new initiatives including sessions with pregnant women and ANMs; strengthening of the ICDS programme; networking with NGOs for skill development programmes; organisation of health camps; infrastructure development and many more need based participatory interventions. The University is immensely proud of the role that the Department is playing in sustaining the programmes without any financial resources.

As far as the other achievements of the Department are concerned, this year too, for the ninth time in a row, the Department has been ranked number two among the list of the top professional colleges and departments of social work in the country by the much acclaimed annual survey conducted by the Outlook magazine. The Department fraternity feels extremely proud of its performance and for doing the University of Delhi proud by being acknowledged for its consistently high standards in teaching, research and social outreach. It needs to be highlighted that the Department has occupied top position in the country with respect to the two most important parameters 'Academic Achievement' and 'Placements'. In the present year, viz 2018, India Today Magazine has also initiated a ranking of the institutions offering social work education in the country, and according to this Survey, the Department has occupied the highest grade points in the country in three most important parameters, that is, 'student intake and governance', 'academic excellence' and 'student progression and placements'. The Department feels extremely proud of achieving its vision and mission, as is amply demonstrated by the consistently high ranking derived by it in the last many years.

The academic and corporate life of the Department is marked by multifaceted initiatives; collaborative endeavours; innovative efforts of student learning and faculty enrichment; as also need based developmental interventions. The Department played a pioneering role in hosting a diversity of initiatives independently, and in partnership with several governmental and non- governmental organisations. It continues to strive towards building an enabling environment that encourages self-exploration and self-expression among the students and research scholars, stimulating their young minds to nurture a culture that respects hard work, perseverance, diversity and inclusion.

1.2 About the Process of Course Development Involving Diverse Stakeholders

As far as the process of course development is concerned, the Department followed the duly prescribed systematic process. The main phases within the process were:

1. Constitution of a Syllabus Revision Steering Committee:

A four member committee comprising of a senior Professor, an Associate Professor and two Assistant Professors was appointed by the Department Council. This Committee elucidated the process and the steps to be followed in the revision/ updation of the syllabus of the Masters programme in Social Work, based on the CBCS format and adhering to the guidelines submitted by the University in this regard. The Committee organised three exhaustive brainstorming sessions for the faculty members on the diverse aspects of syllabus revision and deliberating on the newer format, new courses, revised content, revision of references, open electives and electives, field practicum and the credit requirements for the diversity of courses being proposed under the four semesters. The Committee also submitted a format to be used by the course teachers to revise their courses, as also the time line to be followed.

2. Revision of courses and references by the concerned faculty members:

The faculty members teaching the courses, as also those who assumed responsibility for teaching the new courses that were finalised by the Departmental Council, took on the responsibility of revising the syllabus and reading lists for the courses. The revised courses, together with the reading lists; course objectives; course outcomes; teaching format/ instructional process; evaluation format; hours of teaching and credit details were submitted to the Steering Committee.

3. Review of Revised Courses: The first assessment of the revised courses was undertaken by the Steering Committee, wherein all the courses were scrutinised for their themes, content, module wise arrangement of content and sequencing; relevance of content in the contemporary context of social work application and practice, contemporaneous reading lists etc. Minor corrections were undertaken by the Committee, and courses requiring more changes were handed back to the course teachers with comments/ observations and suggestive inputs. The final revised syllabus was circulated among all the faculty members once over for final scrutiny, peer review and approval.

4. Nomination of Alumni, Experts and Placement Agencies for Participation as Stakeholders for Review of Revised Courses

The diverse stakeholders to be involved in the process were identified by the Steering Committee and the HOD. They were duly intimated about the requirements of their involvement, and their concurrence was sought.

5. Review by experts, social work practitioners, alumni, recruiters and distinguished faculty from schools of social work

The revised courses were sent to the stakeholders nominated by the Committee through Email and they were asked to send their comments and remarks to the Steering Committee. The Committee made a note of all the observations and corrective/ suggestive inputs.

6. Final Revision and Approval by the Departmental Council:

In the last phase, the Departmental Council went over all the suggestive inputs obtained from the reviewers for all the 34 courses to be offered under the revised format. Based on the consideration of the inputs, the entire syllabus was once again examined, courses requiring modification modified/finalised and then the syllabus was finalised by the Council.

7. Syllabus Uploaded on Website for Wider Review:

Subsequent to the finalisation of the entire syllabus by the Department Council, the revised syllabus was uploaded on the Department homepage of the DU Website for a wider scrutiny of the syllabus by a larger body of stakeholders. After a time line during which comments were invited, the course was presented before the Department Council and approved. This was then submitted to the University for further action.

Emotional Intelligence Team W II. Introduction to CBCS (Choice Based Credit System)

Choice Based Credit System:

The CBCS provides an opportunity for the students to choose courses from the prescribed courses comprising core, elective/minor or skill-based courses. The courses can be evaluated following the grading system, which is considered to be better than the conventional marks system. Grading system provides uniformity in the evaluation and computation of the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on student’s performance in examinations which enables the student to move across institutions of higher learning. The uniformity in evaluation system also enable the potential employers in assessing the performance of the candidates.
